Later this month I'm moving to the UK for 12 months on a working holiday. As a massive RL and SL fan, I am keen to live somewhere in the North that has a SL team I can follow.

Which RL city / town would be the best for an Aussie on a working holiday to live in? Obviously I'd want somewhere with decent job prospects, But importantly also have a good RL culture. I plan on adopting the local team as my own.

If you crave disappointment move to Widnes. If you wish to live in a place of pure beauty and wonder then anywhere in Yorkshire will do. Apart from Bradford maybe. Halifax is home to the undisputed Greatest Rugby League team on earth, although not SL. But Huddersfield is very near by and has a very sexy stadium. Hull has two clubs in SL. Just come to Yorkshire. Y'can't go wrong (again with the exception of Bradford).

Depending on what work you want, then Manchester or Leeds would be the most obvious?

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Manchester...birthplace of civilisation, centre of known universe, football capital of the world....and only 15 miles from the mighty Wigan Warriors.

Ignore this man's inane ramblings, he loves Lancashire so much he lives 140 odd miles away in Mablethorpe,.

I must admit though, Manchester or Leeds would be a good base for a RL follower as most teams are within a short travel distance of those two cities.

If however, you want to live somewhere that lives and breathes RL, then Hull would be a good choice. There is only one are two SL clubs based in the city, so usually one is at home one week with the other one home the week after. So more often than not, you only need to hop on a bus to see a SL game every week. I'll warn you now though, the rivalry between the two clubs is very intense and sometimes very bitter, so I doubt you'll have experienced anything like it.

Wherever you do choose to live and work though, make absolutely certain you visit the KC Stadium for Hull v Hull KR on Friday 29th March, I promise you, you'll not have experienced anything like it.

Move to Manchester and support Salford, which for the uninitiated adjoins Manchester. Salford need the support and to be honest if you turn up with your kit on and keep the accent there's half a chance you'll get a game.
